TreeView + SelectedNodeChanged + UpdatePanel = Problems

I wondered if anyone else has had strange behavior when specifying the SelectedNodeChanged event of a TreeView as an AsyncPostBackTrigger for an UpdatePanel. I'm currently seeing erratic behavior. Some nodes will post back when selected, and others won't; it seems totally random.

There was no problem before I upgraded fromRelease 60914 of the toolkit.

While we work closely with the ASP.NET AJAX team when developing the Toolkit, they're the real experts on general ASP.NET AJAX issues. Your problem doesn't seem to be directly related to the Toolkit, so we'd appreciate if you considered posting to one of theother newsgroups such asAJAX Discussion and Suggestions. Your post will be more helpful to others looking for similar advice if it's in the right place. Thank you!

I have Treeview inside asp:UpdatePanel.{ASP.NET Ajax RC version}

Its not maintaining its viewstate properly while expanding/collepsing nodes.

If I remove Updatepanel,, it works fine.

Is it a bug ?? what could be relevent and reliable solution.

Thanks in advance.

This is still the wrong forum for this question, but I'll answer anyway: TreeView is not supported inside an UpdatePanel. Seehttp://ajax.asp.net/docs/overview/UpdatePanelOverview.aspx.

If you have a TreeView inside an UpdatePanel, it is better to have the following properties set as such PopulateNodesFromClient="false" and EnableClientScript="false". Hope this will solve at least some random problems when clicking/expanding/collapsing a treenode.

Hello,

I tried a few things in my code & everything started working fine. But I get an error on the IE7 page (error: Invalid argument, Line: 43, Character:238).

On putting a break point & then debugging, I get a break on the JS page & the error points to --> accordion.insertBefore(wrapper, content)

I have no idea what this error means & how to debug it. Because everything on the IE7 page works as I want it to, but I get this error on the status bar as: 'Done, but with errors on page'.

Please help me with this error, as this a project I am working on & I need to complete it before the deadline. Any other options for creating a TreeView using any of the Ajax Extenders with the Update Panel are also welcome.
